<PCQuotes is a nice program, but for $500/month> check out Rtquotes. rtquotes.com

They have a novel pricing scheme based on hours/month starting at US$75 for 20hrs. Very fast quotes and also includes DDE links to Excel which I must have. However a few disadvantages for Canadians are no buyer/seller id in Time&Sales, no Canadian Options, no depth-of-market.

I tried PC Quotes about a year ago and had a lot of problems. Could not get DDE to work, they said I had the wrong version of Excel! and refused to help me further. Also for some reason their quotes always seemed to be 2 minutes behind the market and they could never solve the problem so I had to kiss them goodbye. Maybe they are better now.

Hi Keith. I am having trouble with Netscape 4.03,05 and 5 (tried all three) freezing my system up. The problem started after hooking up my three displays.
Symptoms
When grabbing the slider bar on a window and dragging downwards, the whole system freezes. The mouse pointer remains printed and motionless on the primary screen, but a second pointer appears and can be slewed across the other two screens.

Cntrl Alt Delete is completely disabled and you have to power down to get things working again.

I finally had to load up IE4.0,....I have found no problem yet...may be a "multiple display" microsoft conspiracy...who knows!!!
